Just been loking at this, a company called Ruste can turn your fave pair of jeans into bike jeans.
They will fit DuPont kevlar inserts,fit hip and knee pockets with D30 armour.
Pretty cool but maybe you may find them one size too small after modifications ?
Anyone tried this ?

"Are my jeans going to fit me after you have tailored them?

Yes, they will. The difference in fit after the tailoring process is very slight. The waist size will change one size at most. The legs will be a fraction slimmer because of the layer of protection that we add, but as long as your jeans aren’t very tight and 100% cotton, they will fit you as well as they did before the tailoring."

Interesting notion, but the cost of the jeans, plus the tailoring, plus armour makes this a considerably more expensive proposition than buying a pair of e.g. Hood jeans.
